“Where was I picked? I don’t know. Probably dead last,” Love joked at shootaround, according to Cleveland.com. “I’m the guy in the pickup game where during the summer it’s like, ‘OK, he’s a big guy that can shoot. Guess I will take him.’ I’m not going to do the between-the-legs dunks, windmills, but I’m going to be getting those rebounds and outletting the ball. I guess I add some value with that. I know Russ (Westbrook) will like it.”

While he didn’t get his wish of playing with Thompson, Love will have the opportunity to play with his college teammate Russell Westbrook.

When he heard about Love’s comment, it brought a chuckle to LeBron.

“Kev would say that,” said James.
